Shortly after departure, you will be informed by the ship’s guides and hostesses about the cruise program, the islands as well as the safety regulations.

Within 2 hours, we will arrive to the island of Poros, the smallest of the three islands, separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait and offering a most enchanting view of Poros Town. Your time at leisure in Poros will be about 50 minutes.

Immediately upon the disembarkation from Poros, lunch will be served for passengers who have the first sitting. As we sail towards Hydra the remaining guests relax in the Ship's Lounge or enjoy the sun and beautiful panoramic view from one of our open decks.

An hour and 15 minutes later, we arrive at cosmopolitan Hydra. The special architecture of the island, the traditional stone houses will amaze you at first sight.
